Pure Grey Startline>> Transformation

[marmite monster]

Picked this up last week, tailgate, aircon, captains seats. Not entirely sure what direction I'm going with this one yet.




Mods so far b14s and Calibre cc-u wheels 20x9 et45
tinted the rear glass and made a start on the rear carpet lining.
Planning on colour coding the bumpers, handles and mirrors next.
Any suggestions welcome

I've taken the 20s off and gone back to the cali wheels for now.
Im in right wheel dilemma I really like the way the van sits nice and low on 18" wheels so I think thats the size I want.
Just need to find some 18s that look oem+ any suggestions welcome
Also lowered the front another 25mm while I had the wheels off. These b14 coil-overs are pretty much maxed out now and its not really that low .

Another vote for Amarok wheels. Will look lovely on this.

The quest continues

it does, but id be keen too see it with painted bumpers.

I had my order placed as a pure grey, but VW came back to my dealer and told them that they didn't offer the bumper colour coding and the midroof colour coding for it in pure grey

So i went white as white was the only colour for the mid roof at the time.

But in hindsight, it worked out for me, as white was a better colour for our heat here as a camper.

but i still think that Pure Grey colour is awesome

 

[Tourershine]

Noooooo.
Keep the bumpers unpainted, it looks a lot cooler. As you didn't go for banded Amaroks, I'd just pop a set of spacers on those bad boys, and job done.

Super slick mate, stock commercial, with a twist

Agree that you should leave the bumpers black. Especially if you are running steels.

 

[Petehelmet]

Love the commercial look and keep checking eBay for some but they always seem in terrible condition.

Standard Amarok steels are cheap to buy new.

Get some get some get some get some and join the steel revolution

You have some already? I thought you said you keep looking on ebay. It's too early

Will be sending the rears to duchy for some 9" action leaving the fronts stock width as I think the fitment is nice

I wish i had done a bit more research about b14s, was hoping that it would go this low ...

You would have to Hub Mod and machined top mounts then shorter rear shocks or go for the new SoLow set up but it still looks good on the B14’s mate.

Sorry about the confusion the coffee hadn’t kicked in yet. I was talking about the bumpers to be clear.
